Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
About our washroom sealing in Ashburton
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. If you have shower tray joints that have opened up and stained sealant around pans and urinals, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Ashburton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Many London buildings can’t close every toilet at once. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand, so staff and visitors can always find an open washroom.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Do you need washroom sealing in Ashburton?
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
For a hotel such as Croydon Park Hotel (1.4 miles south-west of Ashburton), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.

Washroom sealing around Ashburton: how the place shapes the job
Busy London buildings need some toilets open at all times, so we phase the work core by core or floor by floor with the building manager. A 2-mile radius around Ashburton takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice.
If you manage an office at a site such as Chaffinch Business Park (1 mile north-east of Ashburton), the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Shirley Oaks Hospital (0.6 miles south-east of Ashburton) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Questions we’re asked in Ashburton
Will our hotel in Ashburton need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
